World-wide nonwoven fabric production and sales continuously grows. In the beginning of production, nonwoven textile was a cheaper alternative for more traditional textile and for long time was thought that nonwoven textile can be used only to produce inferior quality products. The fibre spinning technology development has given man-made fibes with significantly better properties and application than natural fibres. Combining different production processes along with different raw materials created products had improved properties which can be further improved with finishing processes. Nonvowens have a wide range of properties, it can be soft, elastic, hard, solid, or have combined properties, it can be thin as paper and thick as needed, but still have high tensile strength. Its dimensions can be large and small and can be made by gluing, heating or sewing. The aim of the paper is to study the behavior of different types of nonwoven fabrics on the pressure force. The selected samples are grouped according to their production method in 7 groups. The mass per unit area and thickness were tested, while two methods for compressive behavior were used. All samples were tested using the experimental method using open source Tracker program and on Hess Thickness Gauge according to standard ISO 9073-2: 1995. The results of the sample behavior on the effect of compression and recovery are graphically described accompanied by the corresponding logarithmic curve for compression and recovery of nonwoven fabrics. From the observed changes and behavior of the nonwoven fabrics it can be concluded that the change of thickness is less on nonwoven fabrics of higher mass per unit area. According to the logarithmic regression equations and correlation coefficients of the compression and decompression cycle of nonwoven fabrics, it can be conclude that it is possible to predict the behavior of the nonwoven fabrics regard to its density.
